Mantic Games’ Mars Attacks: The Miniatures Game has funded on Kickstarter at $558,076. The Kickstarter started strong, blowing through its $50,000 funding goal in just a few minutes (see "'Mars Attacks: The Miniatures Game'"), and continued through many stretch goals.

Mantic plans to release the game to the trade in Fall 2014, after a Gen Con premiere.

At the GAMA Trade Show, ICv2 spoke with SJG COO Philip Reed and Munchkin Line Editor Andrew Hackard about plans for licensed games, the amazing sales growth of the brand, and the sales patterns they’re seeing.
